 Version 1.48.0 (2020-11-19)
 ==========================
 
 Language
 --------
 
 - [The `unsafe` keyword is now syntactically permitted on modules.][75857] This
   is still rejected *semantically*, but can now be parsed by procedural macros.
 
 Compiler
 --------
 - [Stabilised the `-C link=<yes|no>`][76158] Which tells `rustc` whether to link
   its own libraries or to rely on a external linker. (supported only on
   `windows-gnu`, `linux-musl`, and `wasi` platforms.)
 - [You can now use `-C target-feature= crt-static` on `linux-gnu` targets.][77386]
 - [Added tier 2\* support for  `aarch64-unknown-linux-musl`.][76420]
 
 Libraries
 ---------
 - [`io::Write` is now implemented for `&ChildStdin` `&Sink`, `&Stdout`,
   and `&Stderr`.][76275]
 - [All arrays now implement `TryFrom<Vec<T>>`.][76310]
 - [The `matches!` macro now supports having a trailing comma.][74880]
 - [`Vec<A>` now implements `PartialEq<[B]>` where `A: PartialEq<B>`.][74194]
 - [Nearly all of `Cell`'s panicking functions now use the `#[track_caller]`
   attribute.][77055]
 
 Stabilized APIs
 ---------------
 - [`slice::as_ptr_range`]
 - [`slice::as_mut_ptr_range`]
 - [`VecDeque::make_contiguous`]
 - [`future::pending`]
 - [`future::ready`]
 
 The following previously stable methods are now `const fn`'s:
 
 - [`Option::is_some`]
 - [`Option::is_none`]
 - [`Option::as_ref`]
 - [`Result::is_ok`]
 - [`Result::is_err`]
 - [`Result::as_ref`]
 - [`Ordering::reverse`]
 - [`Ordering::then`]
 
 Cargo
 -----
 
 Misc
 ----
 - [You can now link to different items in `rustdoc` using the intra-doc link
   syntax.][74430] E.g. ``/// Uses [`std::future`] `` will automatically generate
   a link to `std::future`'s documentation. See ["Linking to items by
   name"][intradoc-links] for more information.
 - [You can now specify `#[doc(alias = "<alias>")]` on items to add search aliases
   when searching through `rustdoc`'s UI.][75740]
 - [You can now use `rustup install <major>.<minor>` to specify installing the
   latest availeble patch of that minor version of the toolchain.][76107] E.g.
   `rustup install 1.45` would install `1.45.2`, and `1.46` would install `1.46.0`.
 
 Compatibility Notes
 -------------------
 - [`const fn`s are now implicitly promoted to `const`.][75502] Meaning that it
   will only warn if your code fails `const` evaluation, and not produce an error.
 - [Associated type bindings on trait objects are now verified to meet the bounds
   declared on the trait when checking that they implement the trait.][27675]
 - [When traits bounds on associated types or opaque types are ambiguous the
   compiler no longer makes an arbitrary choice on which bound to use.][54121]
 - [Fixed recursive nonterminals not being expended in macros during
   pretty-print/reparse check.][77153] This may cause errors if your macro wasn't
   correctly handling recursive nonterminal tokens.
 - [`&mut` references to non zero-sized types are not longer promoted.][75585]
 - [`rustc` will now warn if you use attributes like `#[link_name]` or `#[cold]`
   in places where they have no effect.][73461]
 - [Updated `_mm256_extract_epi8` and `_mm256_extract_epi16` signatures in
   `arch::{x86, x86_64}` to return `i32` to match the vendor signatures.][73166]
 
 
 
 Internal Only
 -------------
 - [Building `rustc` from source now uses `ninja` by default over `make`.][74922]
   You can continue building with `make` by setting `ninja=false` in
   your `config.toml`.
